    Type 1 Miao Miao Not Connecting

    Thanks kev-w. I am now sitting on the floor charging the battery! I have an iPhone I can use so I might try Xdrip, but I'm rather useless setting things like this up. Tomato was set up more by luck than judgement!! But I'll join the Facebook group.

    How do you get your Libre Sensors to Stay on? Any Tips?

    I used to knock off my sensors regularly! I was self funding so it was very expensive. However since I discovered opsite tape (available on Amazon and most pharmacies) I have not knocked off one. In fact I find it quite difficult to get it off after 14 days! I sometimes have to renew the tape...

    Hot Weather And Storing Insulin While On Holiday

On our return the fridge had switched itself off and the fridge was extremely hot. The saloon was over 40 degrees! I rushed to the pharmacy to see if Humulog was...

    Thank you for your help. I had DKA! The island we are on does not have a hospital! But eventually I was ferried to a hospital in Athens and accompanied by a Doctor. An ambulance was waiting at the port, it was all very efficient. I was discharged yesterday and am now 'As Good As New!

    Help please!

    Thank you! I am going to increase my insulin now. The other thing that has happened is that I have found some out of date ketone sticks and although the stick to change it to ketones showed error 7, when I put a test strip in the meter changed to KETONES and it came up as 5.7. I have since been...

    How low is too low for an HbA1c?

    my latest HbA1c was 6.5 and as a pump using type 1 I was delighted! I really wouldn't want it any lower and my DSN thought it was great. Last year I suffered from constant hypo's and was often found unconcious during the night - yes my HbA1c dropped, but not healthily! I have been diabetic for...
